I never had one but based on the fact that it's a long 357 Mag case, I would suggest the mag pistol powders. More powder to light off. Check with the folks at GB outdoors http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php. Scroll down the page a bit to the H&R forums. Great bunch of folks and they have done...

Thanks, this is good to know. we don't get cell reception in the hollow (hollar) we live in - and our only internet option is this little verizon device that plugs into a usb slot on the computer and it barely gets reception enough to get online - but only if we sit right next to a window.

If so, I encourage you to get and install a booster - I just put one in and it works like a charm. I got mine at Best Buy - Wilson, Singal Boost DT desktop.

I can tell ya the folks over at www.tractorbynet.com would LOVE to see those pics. Nice lookin machines.

Thanks Marc, I will go at it carefully.

OK I found them on the schematic, I was looking at the wrong picture, duh! No wonder the pieces didn't look the same. Well will work on making an action wrench and barrel vice to pull them apart and will carefully file the stop. By the way, just for kicks and grins I tested the 375 cartridge with th...

I wasn't sure of the name of it, but here are some pics.

Ok I got all the parts I ordered. I installed the cartridge guide and just to see it function I stuck a 307 case in the magazine and tried to cycle the bolt. Tried! The case only comes about halfway out until I half cycle the lever a few times then it pops out and seems to want to cycle completely. ...

It would only work if you use the support hose

first off, let me say that the Apostle Paul (a Jew), who wrote the majority of the books in the bible, was not, for the most part writing to his people, he was writing to and starting churches in the gentiles. He started off preaching the Gospel to the Jews, but they like you, rejected the Gospel, a...

olyinaz Thanks IO looked at that one and a few others, they help a lot. BenT The picture really helps, it is kinda what I had in mind, so I am on the right track mentally. (for once).

You can stuff more rounds down in the magazine of my bolt guns, empty chamber or not, but the bolt DOES have to be open, if that was what you were referring to? If that was the case then I agree with you. Short of a detachable magazine that you pop out and refill.

handirifle

Get the BLR and a few extra mags. I usually carry two extras when hunting, and a few loose rounds. If you run the BLR dry, you can throw one in the chamber and close the action, but you can also change the mag out, very quickly, for a fresh loaded one. That's about as good as it gets. You can't top...

Here's mine, I made it, but haven't even shot the rifle with it on there yet. I had shoulder surgery right after I got it done. I hope to fire off a few in the next few weeks, as I heal enough to do so. It was my left shoulder, but I will still have to shoot RH, to be safe. Here's the link to to thr...

Is there a link somewhere to total teardown of a '94? Are they on youtube?

Do you have access to a hydraulic press? Just a pair of vee blocks lined with annealed copper under the press will hold the barrel. I made an action wrench from a couple of pieces of 1.25 x 1.25 steel bar stock. Drilled them for 1/2 inch bolts just wide spaced enough to clear the action. One piece ...

And more to the point - I was a psych major. :) Shhhh, with Odumbo's new rules no telling what trouble THAT might bring up. I get the point though. No guarantee it will stay a 307, for sure.

Lance has become a huge disappointment to me. As a former road cyclist, not on his level but still enjoyed the sport, I have doubts if he could have ever won even a single Tour without it. The international testing agency has proven by going back to the Tour of Sweden samples and testing them to tod...

LK, it will be interesting to see how it works out I have used a 17 HRM on yotes out to 100 as that was at hand at the time it takes a H/L or a head shot to drop them I dont think that a extra 500 fps will change that except it will extend the range the 17 bullet just cant hold up to shoulder shots...

Some years back I swapped a AE Win 94 Trapper in 44 mag for an 1895 SS in 45-70. I have no regrets, but do miss the trapper sometimes.

I finally placed the order for the remaining (or most of them anyway) parts for my 375 to 307 conversion. They did not have the new rear band screw, but I will wait till I go to do the conversion and see what exactly is needed. I figure, if nothing else I will make one, I'm retired and I got nuthin ...

Sure glad the globe is WARMING like Gore said! Imagine how cold it would be if it WASN'T?

It's been getting into the 20's for almost two weeks here on the central coast of CA, and supposed to be in the teens tonight and tomorrow night.

Just cover your exposed water pipes, and bundle up.

Those are both great!

I have never tested any of mine, nor this theory, but I have read many times, that the point or tip of the bullets do not lie against the primer in a tube magazine anyway. The claim is they tip downward while in the magazine and don't even contact the primer. I spose if someone made a plastic tube m...

In Our Real World, Hobie pretty much hit it on the head. The guys I know who had to use the short bbl M4 found the Round to be more of the issue than the rifle. One of my Ranger-Buds managed to scrounge an M14 for himself. It worked REAL well for a while until his Company Commander found out about ...

Current battle rifle is the M4 with a 16" barrell. Works for the Military :D In Iraq, the kids thought the M4 was great, but in places like Falluhah that was mostly street to street the youngest thought it was ideal. The eldest's third tour was to Afghanistan. He longed for a bit more barrel. ...

Great replies and great info to go forward with. Not sure i want to sell off enough guns to buy binos in that price range, I might not be able to hunt afterwards. They do sound like they are worth the extra $$$ though. I will have to give this some serious thought. My lenses have been "scratch ...

Thanks If I could find a way to produce QUALITY, and affordable lead free bullets, that expanded reliably for the 375 I might keep it as is, but after several years and untold hours of working on it, its still not easily done, thus the caliber swap idea.

I have bought probably a dozen or more various binoculars over the years, always under $150 in price.

I am considering reboring a 26" Winchester 30-30 to a 38-55 to make a long rang plinker out of it, maybe adding a tang sight, etc. I did a search and found one reference to the cost approx $250. Not asking for a "quote", but does that sound about right to everyone?

I am of a mind that these DC pukes are all worthless. This recent "cliff" is a mask over the whole problem. The 16 Tril we are in debt is almost an unbearable burden at the 0-1% interest we are paying. Imagine when they start demanding 3,4 or 5%? just be ready for the Greece-like riots bec...

I picked up the Premier issue today. At $9.95 I hope the reg issues are a lot less or it will be an orphan. Good read so far though.

My 308 like Varget, and my '06 like 4350, most any brand but H the best. H322 has turned out to be an EXCELLENT powder for me in big bore cast bullet loads ie 444 and 45-70 Exactly my thought, and the reason I got it. R.
